An identity card for sabkha dolomite

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
An ‘identity card’ for modern sabkha dolomite from Qatar reveals its mineralogical, geochemical and microbial characteristics. This integrated dataset provides a benchmark for recognising similar dolomites in the rock record and for calibrating paleoenvironmental proxies used in climate and biosignature studies.

Extremophile enzyme activity lab: using catalase from Pyrobaculum calidifontis to highlight temperature sensitivity and thermostable enzyme activity

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education
There are places on earth that are considered to possess extreme physico-chemical characteristics as they relate to life. Surprisingly, there are microbes that have adapted various strategies that enable them to form robust communities in these ...

Extreme environments in a world of new extremes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Extreme environments, whether defined by climate, soils, or disturbance, at landscape or micro‐scales, are prevalent across Earth's surface and have long served as crucibles for ecological and evolutionary insights. Many foundational theories were developed in deserts, cliffs, ultramafic soils, and other harsh systems.
